If you're looking for an excellent, authentic Thai restaurant in Reno, I highly recommend Moo Dang Reno Thai Restaurant. It's my favorite place! This place really stands out for both the quality of the food and the authenticity of the flavors. The dishes taste fresh and homemade, with the kind of balance of spice, sweetness, and flavor you expect from real Thai cooking, not watered-down versions. The curries are rich and flavorful, the noodle dishes are excellent, and the spice levels are done right if you like authentic heat. Our waitress Nid was great, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the service is friendly and welcoming. Overall, Moo Dang Reno is one of the best Thai food spots in Reno and definitely worth a visit if you enjoy authentic Thai cuisine. read more

The food was unfortunately a big let down, this is my 2nd attempt to like Moo Dang, but my drunken noodles had absolutely zero chili in them. I then had to fight to flag a waitress to ask for chili paste to get any heat in my entire dish. I like that there are veggies with it and the noodles have a good chew, but I've found zero dishes with anything near Thai spices here My partner got the pad thai, which was sickly sweet yet didn't taste like tamarind, fish sauce nor contain pickled veg. The wood ear in it was excellent, but I've never seen it in pad thai. The thai ice tea was good, maybe a bit heavy on sweetener. I don't understand the high ratings here, based pireh on food. Thai Chili has far better flavors, and is rated lower. The wait staff/food runners lacked politeness, and never checked if we enjoyed our food or needed anyone. Sans the person filling everyone's water, we were never checked on in any other capacity. The restaurant was a cacophony of noise and conversation, I had to lean across the booth to have any chance of hearing my companion. The noise level is overwhelming if you have sensory issues at all. The decor is pretty cool. read more

I don't know why it has took me so long to try this place. I have heard nothing but good things. I was not disappointed. I came with a group of friends so. I was able to try a couple things. The pad Thai was flavorful but a bit sweet for me. I added their chili oil and it made such a difference. I'll order it but with more spice next time. The Panang curry was good with lots of veggies. I ordered the coconut soup. If you like coconut soup this will hit the spot. My son ordered mango sticky rice for dessert. It was delicious but could use more sauce but that's just my preference. A friend of mine ordered the crab fried rice. I don't get a picture but that dish definitely stole the show. It had lots of crab mixed throughout and some on top. The flavor of the rice was to die for. Service was great even with it being busy. They had a full house and the wait for food was not long. The server was attentive. They had only one bathroom but it was clean at least. read more

I have always had consistently good food here, so I was really surprised when I got my to go order home and the curry I ordered was bad. The sauce was broken which left a greasy and clumpy mess. It was not edible. I am very disappointed that the chef thought this was ok to package up and serve. With a curry sauce that badly separated it should have been remade. No way that should have been acceptable to leave the kitchen. read more

We did take out. Unfortunately the wait for food was extremely long though it didn't seem very busy. The good thing is the food was fresh and delicious. While we waited, we liked the ambiance and decor/merch. read more

Mud dang is always a good idea! It's a restaurant. I wish I could get two more often and every time I go I'm reminded exactly why. This is some of, if not the best Thai food in the Reno Tahoe area and if you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out. People always ask me why I say that statement was such certainty and it's because Chef Opal really goes the extra mile to bring our community new and authentic flavor. She started with her Thai noodle soup soups, which have been a main stay on the menu since they opened in overtime, she's expanded those offerings to include many of her favorite dishes from back home. It's hard to pull away from what's beloved, but I find myself trying harder and harder to look at the new additions and choose one each time I go. That's why I largely prefer to go in a group because it means we can order more things lol! This last time I saw a seafood curry on the menu and had to go for it. At $30 I was a little unsure if it would be quite the value but let me tell you this thing was loaded with high-quality seafood. Big chunks of crab, giant, prawns, and large pieces of calamari steak made this extra special. The sauce was a yellow curry that had a slight sweetness, and it was chock full of scrambled egg that added richness, and of course you could add as much spice as you'd like. Another home run by Chef, Opal, and a great reason to get back to Moo Dang asap! read more

We are back and lovin' it! My plan was to have leftovers and let me just tell you the fried rice for breakfast was awesome. That all started the afternoon before with shrimp garden rolls with peanut sauce, Moo Dang fried rice, satay chicken and drunken noodles. (There were two of us just so you know). The fantastic fried rice was not new to me but had never had drunken noodles. That's the last time I make that mistake. It was a fantastic dish. Our server was helpful and fun. Same as last time, a standard for Moo Dang. Lots of booths and tables for everyone. You can also get a t-shirt on your way out! read more

Dang the decorations with the old Kung Fu movie posters is dynamite! The staff is friendly and attentive. This place is nestled in a small shopping square with other restaurants. It is a 10 minute drive from the airport but the food sells itself. The food and drink menu here has depth! Chicken satay is tender and juicy! Papaya salad delicious and fresh. Thai fried rice with pork was a home run. We topped this off with the mango sticky rice. They also sell merchandise for the restaurant. Will come back the next time we're in town! read more

Wow, this has to be the best Thai food I've ever had! I was so full when leaving but so grateful to have such an incredible experience. The Reno CM Michael T. ordered for the table a number of various dishes and none disappointed! There was so much food but it was my favorite way to eat. Getting to try so many dishes is my ideal dining experience. The servings were massive and so many good things to mentally note that I hope my local Thai place serves.The crispy papaya salad was a quick favorite but the Moo Dang soup might have been my favorite. The flavors in every dish were out of this world! I wish I lived closer to experience this restaurant more often! read more

First time here and I had pretty high hopes. When you walk in, the place is eclectically decorated and has a fun vibe. Service was quick and friendly, which I really appreciated. I love Thai food, but unfortunately this just didn't fully hit the mark for me. The fried rice was good and probably my favorite dish we ordered. The kra-pow spicy basil with pork belly was just okay -- the pork belly was very crunchy and almost overcooked and dry, which isn't how I'm used to having it. The pad Thai was decent, but it had a slightly strange taste that threw me off. Overall, not terrible, but not quite what I was hoping for given my expectations. read more

Without question, Moo Dang is some of the best Thai food I've come across! Holy smokes, I walked out of here stuffed to the brim and satisfied to the umpteenth degree. Moo Dang celebrated their 10th anniversary this year, and it's safe to say they might make it 100 more years in business if they keep this up. Reno, count your friggin' blessings! Pays to dine with royalty, and luckily the Reno CM Michael T. knows how to order for the table. The owner brought out at least seven ginormous plates of food that three of us barely made a dent in. But good god, I'm so glad I got to try so many different things in one meal. Sure, I have my favorites when I eat at a Thai restaurant. Here are a couple of things worth noting when dining at Moo Dang: Soups -- I tried the Tom Yum, the house named Moo Dang soup, and Green Curry. These were all top tier, putting to shame so many restaurants around the country. All of them were prepared with love and the flavors were simply exceptional. You might think to yourself, pork skewers and drunken noodles...how good could those be? Stop, drop, and roll people, these are also elite. The texture of the noodles were textbook, while the skewers retained so much moisture and depth of flavor. Papaya Salad is one of my favorite Thai dishes. Here we were presented with a fried version. I had no idea you could fry papaya! Shows what I know! This was incredible and unlike anything I've had before. Just sensational. The restaurant resides in a humble strip mall. The environment is homey and lively. The people are beyond friendly, and the food is nothing short of a 5-star knockout. Walking out of this place I said to myself, "I'm so lucky I had the chance to dine here." Moo Dang, you're awesome. I wish I didn't live 1000 miles away!!! read more

Pre- birthday dinner with a friend. Happy birthday to me! Had the Tom Ka Soup with tofu and it was delicious! Coconut based soup with lemongrass, onions, and tofu! Also had the ginger, chicken, and mushroom dish. So light and delightful. Accompanied with ginger tea. It was exactly what I was looking for. Lots of dinner traffic. Seemed like the crowd was a "hipster, artsy" vibe. Nevertheless loved it there. Service was prompt. Friendly staff. Loved the food and had a great time! read more

Moo Dang is one of my reliable Thai staples in Reno. The Tom Ka is comforting and rich without being heavy, the Moo Dang soup hits that savory-sweet noodle perfection, and the green curry is the kind you crave on a random Tuesday. Portions are generous, prices don't make me cry, and the staff has always treated me well. It's not quite fireworks-level for me.. maybe I haven't unlocked the dish yet, but I can always count on walking out satisfied. Solid joint! read more

Moo Dang sits in Midtown in a big shopping center with plenty of parking. We went on a Friday early in the evening and were seated right away. By the time we headed out, the place was packed with people waiting, so going a bit earlier on a weekend helps. The space is roomy and has an easygoing feel. Thai photos and posters fill the walls, and the mix of tables and booths makes it comfortable for groups or a quick dinner. Service was great from the start. Everything came out quickly, and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The food was the highlight. The Lad Na had a warm, savory sauce that coated the soft noodles nicely, and the vegetables were fresh with a good crunch. The Kra Pow Basil pork had a clean basil flavor and a steady heat that made it really satisfying. We finished with the sweet rice mango, which arrived warm and tender and wrapped up the meal in the best way. I would absolutely recommend it. read more

Big fan of Moo Deng (the baby hippo in Thailand) and Moo Dang! Was pleasantly surprised to find an authentic Thai spot in Reno, and this spot is definitely popular for good reason! When you walk in, you're greeted with a cute street cart with dangling cooked meats (which I presume is used for food festivals/catering) and a very authentic scent of Thai dishes. The interior is very unpretentious and simple, and despite having a busy flow of customers, the restaurant is large enough where it's pretty easy to get seated quickly. Food does take a while (as in 20-30 minutes) to come out, but it's definitely worth the wait! We ordered some basic staples - tom yum soup, pad Thai, and tom yum fried rice. The pad Thai was my favorite, with a flavorful sauce and succulent prawns and chicken. The tom yum soup and fried rice are also solid, albeit a bit too savory (for me) and too tomatoey (for my boyfriend). Overall, great spot for authentic Thai cuisine with large portions and very affordable prices! read more

One of the best Thai food in Reno, coming from someone from the bay. Staff was very friendly and was working fast. The space seems more traditional feel and that they're spaced out a bit more so it doesn't feel busy. The price is right. read more

We finally tried Moo Dang for lunch after hearing about how good they are. I must say that we waited too long to try them! Moo Dang is such a cute establishment with Thai posters all over their walls. They were busy with patrons so it took a few minutes before we were greeted with menus. We tried their Tom Yum soup, Drunken Noodles with shrimp, and Mango Sticky Rice. The Tom Yum soup was intensely flavored: spicy, sweet, savory. I loved how pronounced the lemongrass and basil was! The Drunken Noodles were really good, too. Great balance of flavors and ingredients. And, the mango sticky rice was excellent: the mango was ripe and sweet, the sticky rice was soft and flagrant. Overall service was good. They refilled our water glasses and were friendly. I can't wait to try more of their dishes. read more

Moo Dang is hands down my all-time favorite Thai restaurant, that's saying something since I live in Vegas! Every time I'm in Reno, I make it a point to stop here, and the staff always makes me feel right at home. They recognize us the moment we walk in, which just adds to the warm, welcoming vibe. Let's talk food: they have the BEST Pad Thai ever- and I mean ever. I'm a Pad Thai lover, and Moo Dang's is simply unmatched. Spice is always perfection- love this! On this visit, we also enjoyed their huge calamari (perfectly crispy and tender), crab rangoon, Thai egg rolls, and a comforting chicken noodle soup. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. They also have a great selection of wine, beer and a delicious Thai tea. Service is always fabulous, friendly, attentive, and consistent no matter how busy they are. Moo Dang is the kind of place that keeps you coming back again and again. If you're in Reno and craving Thai food, this is the spot. read more

Moo Dang truly has some of the most superb comfort food in all of Reno. It is consistently good and always top of mind if I need a quick bite. The spring rolls were huge and meaty with tons of lettuce and delicious peanut sauce. My panang curry was creamy luscious and the tofu was crispy and plentiful. I left super full with plenty leftover. Food came out piping hot with no wait at all. Love coming back time and time to moo dang it always hits the spot and it is such a comforting meal each time. read more

Stopped in to get a bite to go. I ordered the ginger and mushroom stir fry with chicken, it was $17, at a level 2. I like spicy, but was going to share with my grandson who likes little spice. The dish was actually pretty spicy more than a level 2 in my opinion. The flavor was good. The to go order came without utensils or napkins. I didn't ask for them and they didn't ask me either if I needed them. Rice is an extra $ 1.99 if you want it with your stir-fry. The restaurant has a fair amount of seating, read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was surprisingly not busy. I ordered the nam tok and sweet chili wings. The nam tok was the best I've had anywhere so far. The spices they used made it so flavorful. The beef was so juicy and fresh as well. The wings had a nice sweet flavor. They weren't spicy at all. One thing I didn't like was that the plates for the appetizers were visibly dirty and still had food on them so I didn't even bother to use it. Overall, the food was delicious, especially the nam tok, which really stood out. While I enjoyed the flavors and the relaxed atmosphere, the dirty appetizer plates were disappointing and took away from the experience. Every time I come here there seems to be an issue which is upsetting because the food is so good. read more

I guess the people were friendly... I order a pad thai, crab rangoon, singha Only got the padthai and the crab thingy. Essentially fried wonton skin with crab flavor cream cheese I never had padthai like this. The thing was saturated with sweet tamarind sauce. I couldnt eat the noodles... just ate the shrimp and chicken...I think this is American Thai food.. just like those American Chinese food full of grease... Well, service wise, they missed my beer order Food wise, I couldn't eat the noodles and left it all on the plate.. I guess its meant for non Asian people... at least someone that never had padthai in bkk or phuket or pattaya or samui...etc... read more

Food: the Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodles are some of the best you'll find anywhere. The curries lack the flavor profile that you may have experienced at top notch Thai restaurants, but that's the situation at any Thai restaurant in Reno. Ditto for the soups. The food here is usually on the spicier side (no complaints!) but if it's your first time, aim low to be sure it's not too spicy for you. Service: always great. Both dine-in and pickup. Ambiance: average. Nice Midtown spot. read more

Moo Dang is consistently good! We had Khao soi, pad Thai and sticky mango rice for dessert. The portions here are large and everything was delicious. Love that they have draft beer and I had a really nice IPA. Tried the mango sticky rice for the first time and loved it. The rice is creamy and slightly sweet and served warm. The mango was perfect consistency-soft enough to blend into the rice. I could eat this every day! Service ce is always great here! read more

I wish I could give them 6 stars! Amazing Thai food with one of the best pad Thai dishes I have ever had! Staff was kind and genuinely friendly. They offered insight on the menu and checked on us several times. Our glasses were filled continuously and table bussed regularly. We elected for medium spice which waitress said was a #2. It was good, but we did also add some chili oil and crushed peppers to the dish so we probably could have did a 3 or 4 on their heat index. (You just never know and it is safer to start and build the heat.) We would drive here just to eat this again! So so good! (We would pass on ordering the Pad See Ew, flavor was okay but we like a little more gravy and the noodles were chopped up in little pieces like they overcooked.) Restaurant is a little dated but clean, in a storefront type setting. read more

If you are looking for delicious Thai food in the Reno area, look no further! Moo Dang has quickly become one of my favorites. Upon entering I am always impressed with the friendly service, clean environment and fresh food. It is located in a large shopping center not to far from downtown, and I would say easy to find. Seating is comfortable and they are open for lunch and dinner. Today we ordered the Beef Larb and the chicken Drunken Noodles. Our waitress recommended we try the white sticky rice. This was the first time my husband and I have ever been offered the white sticky rice verses steamed and we were ready to try it. She mentioned that in her hometown in Thailand the sticky white rice was more commonly used than the regular steamed. Our dishes came out together shortly after ordering and we dove in. The drunken noodles consisted of a generous portion with fresh bell peppers, onions, garlic and basil. The stir fry was perfectly seasoned without feeling too oily or overcooked. The Beef Larb was our favorite. You could really taste the combination of mint and cilantro and it was served with a crispy side of iceberg lettuce. The beef was tender and cut into bite sized pieces. The sticky white rice was quite the surprise. it came inside a bag enclosed in a small wooden circular container. As I was eating it alongside my entrees it made sense that the bag would keep the rice moist and sticky. i would definitely have that again with entrees in the future. For dessert we tried our fave, mango sticky rice. Always delicious, without it being too sweet. It perfectly satisfied our sweet tooth. Would definitely recommend Moo Dang if you are in the area. read more

Everyone on here said it's the best spot for Thai food. I haven't tried any other Thai place in Reno but this was soooo tasty. I ordered takeout and it came so fast. Well seasoned, noodles were perfect and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Good portion size (I had leftovers for the next day). I will definitely be ordering again. The only reason it's not a 5 star was because the crab rangoons has little to no crab in it, but it did have a good amount of cream cheese, apart from that... it still had good flavor. read more

The girls are friendly and provide great service. The food comes out fairly quickly. I think this place on the top restaurants I love to visit and they're usually pretty busy.

It gets pretty loud when busy and it's a very casual place. read more

I just like the name that got famous from SNL. Moo Dang, Thai hippo. Write your name down and staff will call you. Two party already left. The staff really worked well to get you in and out. Water immediately given once you sit down. We had chicken satay ($11.99). Best, 4 juicy skewers. I'm in a pad thai kick. No idea why. We had small serving size of tom Ka soup ($11.99) with lots of chicken soup (coconut lemony). Loved eating here. The staff was so nice. So patient. People dont loiter, they eat and go. Don't believe the prices online, they've gone up. All this was $45 not including tips. We got some take homes. Satay didn't make it home. Plenty of parking. Their menu said no MSG. I believe them. read more

To say I've been wanting to come here for a long time is an understatement, but finally made it this weekend. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The ambiance is unremarkable, but does display pictures and other Thailandish decor. I love the cart at the entrance! My husband and I shared several appetizers and actually remembered to check-in and request the Fish Balls. It worked...they were FREE!!! They were served with a Tamarind Sauce with crushed Peanuts, which was really good and the right amount of thickness. We also ordered the Calamari and Fried Spring Rolls. I found both to be lacking a bit in flavor and the Sweet Chilly Sauce on the watery side. My main dish was the Kra-Pow, Spicy Basil Stir Fry, with Chicken. Now this was tasty!!! It wasn't at all spicy (which I liked) and also found that it wasn't overly sweet. I would order this again in a heartbeat. It doesn't come with any rice though, not even white rice, so you will have to order that separately. Fortunately, it was all a generous serving, so I did get another meal out of this. I also like to try different Teas. Had the Ginger Tea, which was spicy, but really really good. read more

We have been interested in trying this restaurant for a while based on recommendations and reviews. Just the number of Michael's reviews is an indicator of the quality of their food. The ladies serving us were friendly and efficient even though they were initially very busy. The lunch crowd quickly cleared out. We both ordered Pad Tia as having missed having a good dish of it since moving to Reno. It was very good, a bit expensive, but worth it based on portion size as we both made another meal of the leftovers on the next day. The shrimp was delicious and not overcooked too. We will be back to try their soups etc during cooler months. The restaurant is pretty large and very clean with an appropriate ambience. The only negative is that the restaurant is not closer to our house for takeout. read more
